9 Best American Restaurants in Palo Alto

“The food, service, and vibe are outstanding. Every dish (we had 13 and shared them all) was distinct and a hit - no misses, from the milk bread to the grilled snap peas to the sesame fritters topped with smoked trout cream to the crispy pork belly to the meaty fat asparagus spears over a bit of flavorful rice porridge to the strawberry soft serve under a layer of delicious foam and over a layer of delicious gel. I could go on. It’s a super-comfortable atmosphere with friendly, professional, accommodating staff. For the number of dishes we ordered and their complexity, the price was reasonable. The only question is, why doesn’t this restaurant have any Michelin stars yet?“

“Redwood Café by Chef Julien is a fantastic addition to Palo Alto. The food is fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor—simple ingredients done exceptionally well. The croissant sandwich was flaky and delicious, and you can truly taste the quality.

Chef Julien is welcoming and clearly passionate about his craft, which makes the experience even better. A great spot for breakfast or a quick, elevated bite. Highly recommend!“

“Always try to go at least once when I’m in Old El Palo Alto.“

“We got the brioche french toast and the corned beef hash!
The Caribbean french toast sounded really good but I can't eat bananas so I asked them to just add coconut to the brioche french toast. I'd highly highly recommend ordering the french toast that way cuz it was really delicious and flavorful!
The corned beef hash also tasted really good and hit the spot.

Honestly there were so many options in the menu that looked really yummy, so you could order anything and come out satisfied.

Will definitely come again!“

“We ate dinner here and it was a good experience. Our server was really attentive and good at her job. We ordered apps and entrees and the food was solid. One app didn't come out correctly and they comped it immediately. The choices were to sit at the bar or a table in the breakfast area, and we sat at a table. It wasn't unpleasant but lacked the ambience of an upscale restaurant. It was a good dining experience.“

“Seniors love La Comida! It's a warm friendly atmosphere where they can get a nutritious meal each weekday. And it's a great way for them to get out and meet people.“
